2 / 2 results- Is scalp micropigmentation safe? Providers describe scalp micropigmentation as low-risk when a trained practitioner uses sterile single-use equipment, but that is a provider claim rather than a regulatory finding: pigment allergy, infection and colour change are documented risks of cosmetic tattooing.
- Will scalp micropigmentation damage my existing hair or follicles? Providers say SMP sits above the hair follicles and does not harm them. No study has tested this, and infection or scarring from any tattoo can affect the skin.
